This sword is every bit of majestic as it should be, it is huge! with probably the most detailed handle of all the swords. however as i am a small guy, this sword out scales me, so it's not the best for a swing around in the garden.
If you'r only looking for one or two swords from the collection, then please consider this beautiful iconic weapon.
For the more hardcore collectors there is no choice, you don't have a real collection without "the flame of the west".
